  • Campaign links on customer domains, scoped sharing tokens, usage-based billing.

Reichweitenamt

Inoffiziell. Aber gründlich.

Public Twitch audience reports: per-creator and per-broadcast pages with viewer and chat curves, airtime, hours watched, raids, front-page placements and detected highlights. Built in three weeks.

  • Stream reports refreshed every minute while a channel is live.
  • Highlight detection from chat velocity and viewer inflow.
  • An internal API that Shinra Metrics uses for the same reports.

  • A control room to force-play, skip or hot-swap the next replay.
  • ToS and DMCA guardrails with muted-audio flagging.

FarmOps

Screenshots in, alliance intelligence out.

An AI-powered alliance and server tracker for Last War. Upload screenshots or a recording; the AI extracts every player and turns the grind into dashboards.

  • Screenshot and video parsing that replaces an hour of manual entry per reset.
  • Tracking for VS points, donations, storms and seasons across all 8 servers.
  • Public stats pages and a documented REST API.

envstore

Your secrets, encrypted before they ever leave your laptop.

Zero-knowledge .env storage. Files are encrypted on your machine and arrive as ciphertext the server cannot open. Open source, AGPL, comically cheap.

  • End-to-end encryption with X25519 and ChaCha20-Poly1305, no server-side decrypt path.
  • A single static CLI binary you can audit, vendor or run in CI.
  • Service tokens, a GitHub Action and a full audit log.

Signal chain · End to endTC 00:02:00:00

One crew. The whole chain.

Every stage between an idea and a paying customer, owned by one person.

  1. 01 · SourceFront end & product

    The picture people actually see.

    Interfaces that feel finished: real-time dashboards, campaign reports, broadcast overlays, custom charts. Opinionated about motion, allergic to jank.

    • Next.js 16 / React 19
    • TypeScript
    • Tailwind CSS
    • Recharts / custom SVG
    • Canvas / overlays
    • Motion & interaction
  2. 02 · EncoderBack end & media

    Where the signal gets shaped.

    APIs, schedulers, queues and WebSockets. Ninety-plus background tasks and sixty cron schedules on one product alone. Media pipelines with FFmpeg that have to be right at 4 a.m.

    • Node
    • Go
    • Postgres / Neon + Prisma
    • Trigger.dev
    • REST & WebSockets
    • FFmpeg / HLS
  3. 03 · UplinkPlatform APIs

    Twitch, and every platform that matters.

    Eleven networks in production over official OAuth: scopes per feature, tokens encrypted at rest, webhooks verified, rate limits respected. Kept alive through every policy change and breaking release.

    • Twitch Helix / EventSub
    • TikTok Display API
    • Instagram Graph API
    • Facebook Login for Business
    • YouTube Data + Analytics
    • Kick API + webhooks
    • X API v2
    • Threads API
    • Bluesky AT Protocol
    • Pinterest v5
    • LinkedIn
    • Discord
  4. 04 · AnalyzerData & AI

    Millions of events, and what they mean.

    Events streamed into Tinybird with idempotent ingest and tiered retention. Livestreams transcribed on self-hosted Whisper GPUs, sponsor mentions reviewed by an LLM, logos detected frame by frame. Comment sentiment and clustering.

    • Tinybird / ClickHouse
    • Whisper large-v3 (self-hosted)
    • OpenAI
    • DINOv2 / YOLO / Tesseract
    • Embeddings & clustering
    • AI / OCR pipelines
  5. 05 · EdgeInfrastructure

    Global by default, boring on purpose.

    Vercel for the apps, Cloudflare R2 for media, Neon for Postgres, GPU hosts behind Caddy, workers on OVH Kubernetes. Chosen for how little they need me at night.

    • Vercel
    • Kubernetes / OVH
    • Cloudflare R2 / Workers
    • Docker / Caddy
    • GitHub Actions
    • Neon
  6. 06 · VaultSecurity & crypto

    Ciphertext only. No backdoor, by construction.

    Zero-knowledge storage with age, X25519 and ChaCha20-Poly1305. Encrypted platform tokens, scoped sharing tokens, TOTP two-factor, role-based permissions, audit logs.

    • age / X25519
    • ChaCha20-Poly1305
    • Scoped OAuth tokens
    • TOTP 2FA / RBAC
    • Audit logs
  7. 07 · BillingSaaS plumbing

    The unglamorous parts that make it a product.

    Paddle and Stripe, usage-based billing, multi-tenant workspaces, customer-owned domains, public REST APIs with docs. The difference between a demo and a business.

    • Paddle
    • Stripe
    • Multi-tenant auth
    • Vercel Domains SDK
    • Public REST APIs
  8. 08 · OpsKeeping it on air

    Someone stays up. That someone is me.

    Status pages, Sentry, per-team cost accounting, bounded autoscaling, and the discipline to keep a 24/7 channel actually 24/7. Built, shipped and run solo is a present tense.

Crew · Behind the deskTC 00:04:00:00

Crew of one.

Eighteen years building for the web. The whole thing, end to end.

I'm Michael, a full-stack developer based in Germany. I started shipping for the web in 2007 and never really stopped. For years that meant Twitch: overlays, bots, analytics and broadcast tooling for creators, agencies and esports orgs.

Today the scope is wider. I build, bill and operate complete SaaS products on my own: the front end, the back end, the infrastructure, the encryption, the marketing site. You name it, I build it.

2026Reichweitenamt. Public Twitch audience reports, built in three weeks.
2026VODPilot, FarmOps, envstore. Three more products on air, shipped solo.
2023–26Shinra Metrics. Eleven platforms, one dashboard, an AI clipping pipeline. The big one.
2019–21Streamdota. All-in-one live overlays and stats for Dota casting.
2007First lines shipped to the web. The habit stuck.
